 OK.  The reason I ask is that retrieving an element by its id using
 `document.getElementById` is one of the most widely-supported actions
 across browsers (many more than jQuery itself claims to support), and it's
 almost universally very fast.

 I've tested it across a number of browsers, and at best (typically in the
 slowest browsers), jQuery is only twice as slow as the host method in
 retrieving an element by ID; in the fastest modern browsers it seems to be
 at least several times slower.

 I guess I'm overdue for my promised blog post about the more general
 issue, but this particular line seems like a no-brainer: at the cost of a
 few characters you get wider support and better performance, guaranteed.
